This is such an excellent all-around collection of stitch patterns: Knits & purls, ribs, cables, lace, slipped-stitches & mosaic, and edgings. The row-by-row directions appear to be 100% accurate, and the abbreviations are standard. All that's missing is charted directions.

This is a good reference book, but not as thorough as the Treasury of Knitting Patterns books (which I like better and refer to more). This is nice in that the photos are in color, but I would like more descriptive text about the various patterns with guidance as to recommended yarn weight and uses.

This book has clear descriptive patterns, easy to follow, and knit. Some very beautiful patterns here. I first read this at the library and have put it on my to buy list.
